As soon as I sat down with Ridiculous Fishing, I was hooked (ha!). Vlambeer had created something so simple, yet truly addictive and fun, and it was incredibly hard to put down. Fans now have a lot to look forward to, as Vlambeer's Rami Ismail has announced that a "huge" update is planned that will essentially double the size of the game.

Rami notes that the new content will add a new narrative arc, and he re-iterates that they were "serious" about giving you the entire experience at the base price of $2.99 without nickel-and-diming you. Out of everything that's mentioned, my personal favorite is the knife, which can end a run instantly by cutting the line.

Vlambeer basically has its hands full between updating old games, creating new ones, and fighting off shameless clones of their games, so I wish them the best of luck.

It seems like a foregone conclusion when looking at Axiom Verge that comparisons are going to be made to Metroid. It is, without doubt, similar in more ways than it differs from Nintendo's iconic franchise.
The differences matter, though, and Axiom Verge merges classic environment design with new mechanical twists, producing a game that feels both familiar and fresh at the same time.more
